i braid is not gathered or buckled. In order to flatten out the braid, the cord lll is pulled. The cord is free to be pulled throughout the full series of loops, being loose in the tunneled seam 13 and not being held by i stitching 12. The cord may be pulled With facility to the extent of straightening Iout two adjacent loops near each terminal. Figure 1 shows the braid after being sewed and Figure 2 the same braid after being fiattened and after the pulling of the cor( la. After the exposed ends of the cord 14 have been cut prior to or subsequent to the forming of a button hole A in one of the loops, Where the button hole is to be employed, the adjacent convergent portion of all the loops are covered and held by forming an embroidery7 butt-on 15 extending through the fabric as Will be seen by coinparing the views of the reverse sides in Figures 3 and 4c and the edge view in Figure 5. It is to be noted that the terminals of tie looped strip of braid lie in substantially the plane of the loops so thatpthe Whole ornament yis practically in a single i plane to lie flat and to be held in the fiat form by the embroidery button 15.

In the form shown in Figure 6 a strip 111 of corded braid is imposed upon the apparel material 10` and formed into pairs of loops and the loops of a pair being opposedv as in the first described ornament. The loops are formed in the following sequence: That loop shown at the top of Figure 6 is first formed, then the oppositely disposed loop to form a pair, then that loop shown at the left of Figure Gis formed With fthe braid crossed over itself adjacent to the first loop as clearly shown. The final loop, that at the right of Figure 6 is then formed. rllhe numeral 113 indicates the tunneled seam of the braid containing the cord and 112 the line of stitching. The stitching at the outer edge of the braid is free of the tunneled seam and cord.

In Figure 7 the braid material is twice crossed over itself. Thus, the left-hand loop of Figure 7 is first formed, then the nextadjacent loop of the opposite pair, the braid being then crossed over itself and the loop shown at the right formed, the braid being again crossed on itself and that loop at the top of Figure 7 Which is the final loop is formed.

In making the ornament of Figure 8, lthat loopY at the lefty of the figure is first formed Leanser,

from the corded braid, and then the loop at the right of the figure, whereupon the braid material is crossed over itself to form that loop shown at the top of Figure 8 and the braid then crossed over itself to form the loop at the bottom of Figure 8; In Figures 7 and 8, as in Figure 6, the numeral 111 indicates the strip of corded braid, the numeral 112, the stitching, the same as previously described, and the numeral 113, the tunneled seam.

In the several ornaments of Figures 6 Z and 8, the stitching 112 is donewith weak thread, readily breakable and the cordfin the seam 113 when pulled, causes the stitching 112 to break, permitting the loops to be fiattened out as previously referred to.

'Ihe present invention is distinguished from the invention in my co-pending application for another method of producing apparel ornaments in that the invention in the present case relates tothe direct production of theornaments on apparel fabric, instead of on a destructible fabric, as in the other case. Theinvention in the present case is distinguished 'also in that it involves the production of an ornament from a continuous strip, Also, the present invention in one of its phases defines a method whereby a breakable thread may be employed `in the production of ornaments involving the crossing of the material from which the ornament is made.

I would state furthermore that While the illustrated examples constitute practical embodiments of my invention, I do not limit myself strictly to the exact details herein illustratedL since, manifestly, the same can be considerably varied Without departure from the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:
